Lions expect Kerby Joseph to return from knee injury this season

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell expressed optimism about All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph's recovery from a knee injury. Joseph has not played since training camp last year, missing the final 11 games of the previous season. Campbell did not provide a specific timeline for his return but noted that Joseph is in a good mental space and is progressing well. The Lions' defense is currently struggling, ranking last in the league in passing defense, partially due to his absence alongside teammate Brian Branch, who is also recovering from injury. The team anticipates Branch will play against the Green Bay Packers on October 25.
